The children belonging to the infant department of the Congregational Sun- day School, enjoyed a delightful after- noon in the chapel yesterday. Cake, candies and dainty little gifts, made the little ones glad, while a magic lan- tern delighted their eyes. In the eve- ning the older scholars met in the same place and enjoyed apleasant social time. Cake and cream were served, while the orchestra of the Y. M. C. A. rendered several pleasing selections, thus adding greatly to the pleasurcof the evening. The phonograph is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful inventions of this age, and as such attracts a great deal of attention. Yesterday, Mr. James M. Creagh, who has a phonograph on exhi- bition, received some new music for it, which comprises choice selections by the U. S. Marine Band, the Wheeler & Wilson Band and the Jerome May Banjo Club.

War- den Lee satin the seat of honor with an expression of self congratulation upon his classic features, and despatched the business before him with neatness and celerity. There was little business done, in fact; a few bills were ordered paid in a perfunctory sort of a way, but nothing important came It was‘a quiet little love feast, which roke up at an early hour, and when the Warden declared the meeting adjourned he rang the death knell of. the court of burgesses of 1890; each grasped all the others by the hand with a silent pressure and separated— and all was over.

The make-up of the committees is determined upon substantially as they will be organized, and the chair- men will probably bejnominated by the Warden as follows: Highways, Bur; gess Bowe; finance; vandcrhoef; fire, Burr; police, O’Reiley; ‘ sewers, Kent; lights, Buxton._-_____ - -—— nd New Yea ’ '0- t or Riifvon Winklef,matmge> and 1.11911 \. Great Excitement at South Nirwalk. I; I C'ENSE CONTESTS. TO- DA 1'. I1 EAB INC S The County Commissioners met at the Council chamber this morning, and heard the remonstrances against the granting of licenses to Mrs. Mary Creagh and William C. Jesse. Rev. Mr. Biddle of the Congregation- al church, conducted the examination of Chas. H. Raymond, Station Agent of the N. Y. N. H. S; H. R. R. Mr. Raymond testified that in his opinion the location of Mrs. Creagh’s and Mr. J esss’s saloon were dangerous, owing to the number of trains passing. Upon cross-examination by Mr. Hurl- butt for Mrs. Creagh, he admitted that no serious accidents had occurred to any one crossing from these saloons. He also admitted that the railrood com- pany could fence in their track and thus prevent the danger to persons crossing, if they so desired. Mr. Eben Hill, upon examination by Mr. Biddle stated qhat he had these objections to the location of these saloons : first, that it was objectionable to men, women, and children to stand opposite and view the condition of cus- tomers coming out of these saloons; second, that, in their present position they are a menace to human life, either sober or drunk; third, that they are extremely objectionable for persons standing on the depot platform, wit- nessing people crossing and recrossing the tracks with the liability of getting run over. . , Upon cross-examination by Mr. Frost for Mr. Jesse, he testified that he had no information as to any one get- ting hurt. J. S. Dunning, ex-postmaster, was the next witness, and upon examination by Mr. Biddle, testified that he cen- sidered the location of these saloons dangerous, also because of the nuis- ances of people on the opposite plat- form were obliged to witness while waiting for trains. ' , He considered the location of these ‘ saloons hellish. - . When cross-examined by Mr. Hurl- butt, witness made such a ridiculous exhibition and so constantly contradict- ed himself that his testimony amount- ed to nothing. - Mr. Charles F. Hallock, a member of the city council, was the next examin— ed, and upon examination by Mr. Bid- dle testified that neither of these places were adapted for liquor selling, he had seen men cross under the influence of liquor, and considered the location as dangerous. On cross-examination by Mr. Hurlbutt, he testified that the city had never taken any steps to correct this dangerous crossing, also that he ' had never seen anyone injured in. cros- sing. J. R. Marvin was the last witness called before recess, and testified upon examination of Mr. Biddle, that he considered the place as a dangerous one and not fit for saloons on account of people crossing the track: he saw a man killed there and considered it the most dangerous place in the city: On cross-examination by Mr. Hurl- butt he stated that he did not consider Washin ton street crossing as danger- ous as t is crossing. As to the man who was killed, it was 27 years ago and at 3 o’clock in the morning; cou d not tell which building he came out of, but thou ht it the lower one; would not testi y that a saloon was located in the building at that time. - The Commission adjourned until 2 o’clock. , An Italian has invented “an instan- taneous, self-expanding, life-saving belt,” so light'that it can be worn day and night without the slightest incon- venienc.—[Exchange. What’s the matter with rigging up our Connecticut candidates for gover- nor, state senators and the like, with one of these life-saving belts? Our friend, Senator-elect John S. Seymour should procure one without delay. One of these safety contraptions is just the thing he now needs. No one would be able to wear it with more grace and dignity and everybody would commend his sagacity in wearing the safety-belt till he is safe in his seat in the senate. Tim O’Brien says when he 'went to Bridgeport jail in July because he was found sick from too much' of the breath of old John Barleycorn, he stayed there seventy-nine days, and notwithstanding he asked the turnkey and other officials of the jail several times what he was there for and how long he’d got to stay, he could get no answer. Tim thinks he had a right to know these thingS, and although he does not intend to sue the county nor the town, nor the officers, nor John Barleycorn, himself, in order to obtain the desired information, he is emphatic in his determination to , let John alone in the future, and will obtain satisfactory vengeance in that way.
